Padres at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Padres 6, Rockies 5
Money line
The PADRES (-135) are a decent play, although you’ll have to hold your breath as this one figures to be your typical Coors Field softball-like back-and-forth affair.
San Diego is a little bit of a risky play based on the fact Colorado has had its way with the Padres so far this season, winning 7 of 10.

Run line/Against the spread
The ROCKIES +1.5 (-130) are worth a roll of the dice, as this should be a close game. Colorado has had its way with San Diego, but neither Snell nor Freeland are pitching well enough that this game will be one-sided.
Over/Under
The UNDER 11.5 (-105) is a big number, and playing the Under is always risky business at Coors.
I feel as if we’ll see a decent amount of runs, but the Under will just come in. The wind will be blowing sideways across the outfield, knocking down any potential homer balls to limit some damage.
